Industrial links still face opposition in Japan's universities

Industrial Relations: the Contribution of the Universities

Although I have spent most of my life in the practice, one way or the other, of industrial relations, my responsibilities now lie within a university and it seems to me that one must consider what a university can contribute in this area. In the very short period of twenty minutes, all I can do is sketch some thoughts for you. The fact that our session tonight consists of a number of brief and ...

Still another confounded face in the crowd.

Experiments using schematic faces developed by Öhman (Öhman, Lundqvist, & Esteves, 2001) seem to document an anger-superiority effect, although we have come to question these experiments. Our work shows that the low-level features of these schematic faces interact with the face's surround to produce effects that have been attributed to facial affect. Using relatively neutral faces that preserve...

Face Detection in Still Gray Images

Emotional expression and heart rate in high-risk infants during the face-to-face/still-face.

In infants, eye constriction-the Duchenne marker-and mouth opening appear to index the intensity of both positive and negative facial expressions. We combined eye constriction and mouth opening that co-occurred with smiles and cry-faces (respectively, the prototypic expressions of infant joy and distress) to measure emotional expression intensity. Expression intensity and heart rate were measur...

Face Recognition from Still Images and Video

Face recognition with its wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications has been one of the most active areas of research in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. Personal identification systems based on faces have the advantage that facial images can be obtained from a distance without requiring cooperation of the subject, as compared to other biometrics such as fin...
